Just what the boats don't need after days at sea on arriving to land their fish on a deserted quayside in the dark - searching the length and breadth of the fish market the boys from the Gary M eventually found just enough palettes on which to put their fish into the cold store......
when landing at low water, and with hundreds of pounds of fish per box, care needs to be taken to see that the boxes do not tip back into the harbour.....
skipper Timmy Boyle watches from the deck as the boxes are stacked carefully......
and pulled out of the darkness into a brightly lit market hall.....
the cold store is choked with the fish from other landings tonight......
under plenty of floodlights over on the slip, work continues well into the night on the classic sail boat Ruth where several sheets of copper sheathing have been removed to allow the shipwrights to caulk the hull......
her huge bowsprit points upwards from the slip.
